Slowest bartender I've ever seen. 6-7 people here and you still have to wait forever.

Pefectly acceptable bar food. The karaoke and open mic gets turned up wayy to loud making it an unpleasant atmosphere at those times.

I have purchased items from LP's market but never tried food from their kitchen. I placed an online…read moretakeout order and it was ready in about 25 minutes. My husband got the smashburger and I got the Yinzer salad. The burger was probably one of the best ever, seriously. My salad was delicious & I loved their ranch dressing. We got a side of shoestring fries which were perfect & come with a garlic aioli. I am super excited to actually dine in now because it was so good!

I have been a loyal customer for years, visiting several times a month for breakfast, lunch, or…read moretakeout. However, after yesterday's experience, it is doubtful that I will be returning, nor will the friend who joined me. When ordering the "Hotlicks" sandwich, I politely asked if it could be grilled, as the last two times I received it as a cold sandwich, which was still good. The young man taking my order looked perplexed, so I explained it would be like a grilled cheese sandwich with the addition of the veggies. Later, while sitting at our table, the owner-Brian Perkarcik, approached to ask about the order. When I mentioned that my lunch was very good and previous orders were served as a cold sandwich, he argued with me, raising his voice, and stating that these are always grilled. I explained that the past two times they were not. I actually thought he might be joking and giving me a hard time. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and inquired if he was having a bad day. He responded in a raised voice while walking away from my table "What I don't need is someone telling me how to make a grilled cheese sandwich!" I was absolutely dumbfounded by the interaction and how ridiculous the situation was. Confronting and raising your voice at a regular customer over a simple request is unacceptable and deeply disappointing. Please note that the restaurant was very busy so I would think that this was uncomfortable for other nearby patrons. I hope they take this feedback constructively to improve how to communicate kindly with their customers in the future. I have always found the staff to be lovely, but this experience with the owner was not. It was a very unpleasant experience and quite unnecessary. The saying "It's not what you say. It's how you say it" holds true in this situation.

There wasn't a lot of information about this restaurant online, so I decided to go check this out…read morefor myself and get some information going here. The restaurant is on the main drag at Freeport Road, but it's a little hard to spot due to various trees being in the way. This is more of a bar than a restaurant. They have counter seats, a couple of elevated seats and a few regular seats. The place is very clean and the waitress was very nice. The restaurant does not have paper menus, just a menu written on a chalkboard on the wall. It's not a major issue, but they need to get menu's. The restaurant also does not have silverware ready at your table for you. That also needs to be fixed as while most of their foods are items you pick up with your hand, sometimes forks and knives are needed. The prices are reasonable and you can get two apps and two meals for under $50. The main draw of this place is the chicken wings. They are one of the few places in Pittsburgh with full-sized wings with both the leg and the flat part together. The wings are breaded and are good enough to eat without even putting sauce on them though they give you a box with 8 different sauces to choose from. You can get 6 of them (which is 12 wings elsewhere) or a full dozen (which is 24 wings elsewhere). 6 wings for $12 and $12 for 22. They have wing night on Wednesdays, and the price drops to 75 cents a wing which is very cheap these days. We also ordered burgers, fries and onion rings. The burgers were good. They give you a nice big piece of meat on them and the bacon was good. The fries were okay and the onion rings were very heavy on the onion part of it. The pretzel was a standard pretzel but the cheese for it had either an alcohol or possible honey flavoring to it. The restaurant also does offer happy hour where the apps are half off which makes a big difference. Finally, the restaurant has a lottery machine, darts, a slot machine and some table board games. Overall, I liked the place and would return.

Great place to get good priced drinks and amazing deep fried full chicken wings. The wings come…read morewith an array of sauces that are all amazing. Great bartenders too!

Rather than wait for a table, we sat at the bar where we had excellent service. The mariposa was delicious and so much food that I had leftovers to take home. He had the tacos al pastor - he loved the pork and pineapple combo, The pina colada margarita ice cream was tasty and also filling. Highly recommend as they have some great seasonal cocktails and seems to be the spot for birthday celebrations!

First time here, and also my last time here…read more Never in my life have I had Mexican food with no taste. I got the viva sampler, and everything from the taquitos to the Mexican street corn tasted like cardboard. I took the chicken out of the taquito to see if maybe it was just the tortilla, no - it was just flavorless. The sauces it came with were the only things that were halfway decent. Then, my sister and I decided to split the flan and tres leches. Mistake numbers two and three. The flan was grainy and the tres leches has no flavor - where was the cinnamon the spices the sweetened condensed milk. Those were terrible. The mocktail was just overly sweet juice with no real thought or effort put into it. For $54 - I expect more. It's overpriced. It's flavorless. And the atmosphere was nonexistent. They're charging for nonexistent "vibes" and neon signs. Not worth it. The service was just okay. Plaza Azteca is the superior choice if given the option.

The brunette mentioned she had only been there for five days, but you never would have known it. She did an excellent job checking on guests and making sure everyone was taken care of. I ordered the 3-bone rib dinner with mac and cheese. I'll admit, I'm a bit of a rib snob, but these were outstanding. They had the perfect glaze with a nice crisp on the outside, weren't overcooked, and were so tender but not falling off the bone without being overly fatty. Easily some of the best ribs I've ever had. The mac and cheese was good, but it was spicier than I could handle. It would be nice if there were a non-spicy option available. We enjoyed a few beers, great food, and sat out on the patio listening to blues music on a beautiful summer evening. It was the perfect atmosphere, and I can't wait to come back. The only downside is that parking can get a little tight when they're busy, but it's well worth the visit.

While we are not beer drinkers we did enjoy a cocktail that was quite yummy, the transfusion. Also we ordered a stuffed potato with tzatziki sauce and lox and pickles diced tiny. It was quite delicious and tasty. They also have homemade pasta with different sauces and other potato fillings. We hope to go back and try those as well... Now on to the ambiance... Felt like I was back in Florida on a river! There's a marina to dock the boat that is quite beautiful. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating with great views of the river and shade.

When searching the menu, I noticed that if you sign up for the mailings, you get a $2 pint - customer win #1..... We got there and the bartender was super friendly, letting us grab some samples, all of which seemed pretty good. I ended up getting the hazy NEIPA, which was stellar, minimal bitterness. Also had a pint of the strawberry cheesecake sour, which I guess is popular. It was very good, but a bit too sweet/sour for a full pint. Great selection of beer, upper tier brewery in greater Pittsburgh, stellar prices and I'll be baaaaaack. There was a band playing on the patio, not my thing, a "suburban barbeque joint / sauce rockabilly" typa group....but it's fine. View was great on the patio, river was calm, allowing us to enjoy the saucy rock while the sun went down. See y'all again, saucy rock or not.
